I finished the art journal spread with the abstract collage that I started yesterday. I made good use of the vermillion soft pastel that I bought recently to top up an order so as to get free postage. I’m a big fan of vermillion.

This spread was inspired by a Jerney Marisha Let’s Face It class, and in the spirit of completing all the class before the last class drops in two weeks, I did the other outstanding class by her too.
Lots of fun doing five minute portraits in a variety of media – charcoal powder and charcoal pencil, white neocolor II on black gesso, acrylic in diluted to give three values, and lastly black gesso on the substrate and white gesso applied with a palette knife.

You can never have too many ideas for warm-ups and loose portraiture, imho.
Til the morn,
